Ok...so the guy's dates are still off, but better than what I was told yesterday!
They gave me the wrong date when I called! I knew that from this list, and what I had found elsewhere that these machines were dated 1928...and it seemed odd to me that the machine would have been made in 1912 with the motor being patented in 1927. Aftermarket maybe? No....didn't think so...seems to be intregal part of the machine, with the way the bobbin winder works. So I called back this morning and questioned her again. (Got the same very nice lady)
She apologised...and told me my machine was made in 1934 in Cleveland.
I feel better now! It bugged me all afternoon yesterday! :lol:
